Description merkel 2007-08-22 06:32:38 UTC 
DVB-T-USB-Device can be played by
mplayer, but not by xine or gxine. The plugin xineplug_inp_dvb.so tries
to open /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 which does not exist (should be dvr0).
Creating it doesn't help, since xine-lib tries to open READ+WRITE (EOPNOTSUPP) instead of READONLY.
open("/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

Reproducible: Always




2.6.22-gentoo-r1
Device: Cinergy T²
Manufacturer: TerraTec GmbH
Module: cinergyT2

Might be considered as kernel bug in the module, but I think xine-lib
should never open a video device as write.

Try with 1.1.8, it has some dvb fixes.

1.1.8 ChangeLog:

* Allow the DVB input plugin to timeout if it is receiving no signal.

please try, and reopen if it still fails
